Yes, but it's best not to do it too much. Toothpaste will make your skin dry out alot and if you use it too much insead of oily skin, you'll now have peeling skin. I prefer to put it on spots of my face where I have really bad acne every other day or so.
Toothpaste is also great in fixing scratches on dvds and taking off permanent marker on hard surfaces (It's a mild abrassive).

It won't make oily skin go away, and it's not good to put toothpaste on a large area of your face. If you put it on a pimple, it's supposed to help it dry up quickly, but I've never actually tried it.

im not sure if it will make an oily face better, but i do know that if you put a dab of mint toothpaste on a pimple it helps to dry it up and go away faster.

The toothpaste may be a bit too harsh to use on your delicate facial skin daily. I know you can use it as an emergency spot treatment for pimples to dry them up. I would suggest a skin care regimen with products specifically for oily skin. If you want something natural try a cotton soaked in witch hazel.

It won't make your face less oily and I don't think anyone recommends putting it on your face for extended periods of time. However, a dab of toothpaste on a pimple will reduce the swelling (something about the flouride being good for it).

toothpaste only works for pimples. im not sure about oily skinn... but if i were you i would just go to a drugstore and get some oil control facewash and lotion... better results and safer.

Can toothpaste clean your teeth? Yes.

You can dab it on pimples to dry them out, but NEVER put it all over your face. It will devour it.

Toothpaste burns like heck when you leave it on your skin. IDK if it would do anything for oily skin, but I know it'd be mighty painful.
